REAJ>Y-2IIA DE CLOTHING.
OF W. H. FURLONG,
THE RESIDENT MANAGER OF
the old reliable
PUTNAi
Clothing
_ +h >c after an. absence of some three weeks, is looked upon in
rSitiSna Circles and by the would-be competitors of THE PUTNAM
-♦hnpvent of the season, and well may they consider it as significant,
jtistlme has been spent by MK. FUKUONG in one of
THE MOST EXTENSIVE CLOTHING MANUFACTORIES
r.oiic country, selecting Cloths and Materials, and personally super-*
Medina the manufacture of Spring Goods for THE PUTNAM, and
Jnhctter enlighten our customers aud patrons as to the production of
S-Tiiothing, perhaps it would he well to state that Messrs. MINER,
& HACKETT, the Proprietors of the PUTNAM CLOTHING
nniTSE. are also Proprietors of this Mammoth Clothing Manufactory,
Shcre MK. FUKLONG has been for the past three weeks. Through
combination is the PUTNAM enabled to place upon its counters a
class of
READY-MADE CLOTHING
Vever exhibited by any RETAIL CLOTHING HOUSE IN AMERICA.
Some of the facts in connection with our Manufactory, Facilities,
nnr Styles and Patterns, which we originate and control, as compared
tothe Clothing sold by the would-be leading Clothing Houses of this
' citr is a matter worthy of the consideration of every citizen of Chi
t«<ro. Inasmuch as the Clothing sold by these wouid-bo Popular Oioth
tae Houses in the vicinity of our MAMMOTH STORE is bought in the
East from TOM, DICK, or HAURY.as will best serve, who, we ask.
The merchant or the customer—Echo answers-, wherever they can buy
the cheapest. We make these comparisons in ,j ustice to ourselves, be
lieving it to be apparent to the most skeptical that while we manufact
ure every dollar's worth of Clothing we sell, that it is not only a pride
with us, out policy, to produce a Standard and Superior Class ot Cloth
ing,-standard, in being enabled to furnish a customer a second suit of
the same manufacture; superior, inasmuch as with the closest study
end experience of our Manager, MR. FURLONG, who is an Expert
Clothing man, have we been enabled to produce a class of
READY-MADE CLOTHING
Eaaal to that emanating from any Merchant Tailoring Establishment,
and protecting our customers from their exorbitant charges, and we
pride ourselves, and think we are justified in the assertion, that we do
produce a class of Clothing not exhibited by any other Clothing House
in the West, and that we have catered to the public as no other bouse
has ever done In this city. It has been our aim and study to supply a
long-felt want, and protect the public from the extravagant charges
of file Merchant Tailor, and we contess we have been richly paid in
seeing our trade increase day by day until it has assumed such propor
tions that the SPRING STOCK which we have been compelled to
manufacture to supply our trade will he four times larger than any
Stock of Clothing ever shown at Retail in the West.
We are now daily in receipt of
Spring Goods Direct from Our
Own Manufactory,
And we shaU exhibit many Novelties in EARLY SPRING GOODS not
to be found in any other Clothing House.

be another meeting to-morrow.: Meanwhile,
some vague intimations have been made by
the Democrats to the Republicans that a still
further compromise than that .which, was
proposed last night is in contemplation.
There is a tacit understanding that, on Mon
day, the attempt to organize the Senate shall
be regularly made. . .
WITHOUT ANT JtESOItT TO FILIBUSXBBIjta
on the one hand, and without any effort to
take unfair advantage of the situation on
the other; and that as many of the Demo
crats will withhold their votes as there shall
then be Republican vacancies. This is
claimed as a concession on the part of the
Democrats, hut the further intimation, has
been made that the Democrats desire to have
some concession made to them, and that they
will suggest that, it the Republicans will
concede to them the Chairmanships, the
Democrats will permit the Republicans to
take the permanent organization of the
Senate, and not to make it sub
ject to the possibilities., ot a
weekly change in'the organization; accord
ing as Mahone may be disposed to vote one
way or another.
THIS INTIMATION HAS BEEN MADE BT THE
DEMOCRATS,
and it is said that such prominent persons as
Beck and Bayard think it would be a wise
solution of the difficulties. It has not been
learned that the Republicans have seriously
considered it. The Senators in both parties
who did not receive Chairmanships of favor
able Committees, should such an arrange-'
meat be made, would, of course, never be
satisfied, and the confidence of the
Republicans is so great that Mahone
will permanently vote with the
Republicans on all questions affecting the or
ganization of the Senate that it is very doubt
ful whether they would be disposed to listen
to such a proposition. It has also been sug
gested that, unless the Democrats could se
cure some arrangement which would be ben
eficial to them with respect to organization,
they might withhold their votes and
PREVENT THE REPUBLICANS FROlt ORGAN-
ZZIXG.
Even with the vote of Matione there would
not be a quorum. But it has been ascer
tained that David Davis, of Illinois, and
Brown, of Georgia, would not enter into an
arrangement to break a quorum, and that
they may be relied upon to vote on all occa
sions.
M All ONE’S PROPOSITION.
It is said that the proposition of Senator
Mahone is this: He will support George C.
Gorham, if nominated by the Republicans
tor Secretary of the Senate, and vote with
the Republicans to organize the committees,
it the Republicans will agree to support one
of his friends from Virginia for Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate. Mr. Mahone says that
with proper support be can sepnre the elec
tion of an independent Democrat tike
himself to the Senate, two years
hence, in place of Senator Johnston,
and that the patronage of the Sergeant-at-.
Arms office will be of material asaistan ce is
gaining his point. Unless some such ar
rangement is entered into, Senator Mahone
will take no part in the struggle going on be
tween the Republicans and Democrats, and
the latter will then succeed in securing the
organization. There are some Republicans
who do not want to make any arrangement
or compromise, and protest against being re
quired to vote for a Democrat as Sergeant
at-Arms, even though he is a uoiitical fol
lower of Mr. Mahone. It is now a question
of whether the Republicans with these feel
ings will yield to the wishes of the majority.
Unless they do, all hope of securing control
of the Senate must be abandoned.
